Create and share internal company podcasts to keep employees in tune with what’s important. For example: easily record a weekly update and send it in a push notification, so your team can listen just like their favorite podcasts.
Hey PH!
It’s Mariel here from Spokn, an app for creating and sharing internal company podcasts. We help you keep employees connected to your strategy and culture – without Zoom fatigue 😅.
My cofounder Fawzy and I have been audio nuts for a long time. Same for most people we know. Since podcasts are so popular, we wondered why more companies weren't using them.
Then remote work happened. We saw leaders struggling to keep employees aligned with company strategy and culture.
Zoom fatigue is *reeeal* and time zones are a scheduling nightmare. Emails feel impersonal (if they ever get read) and Slack is really noisy.
So we launched Spokn as a personal and scalable way to keep employees in the loop while giving them a break from their screens.
We’re excited to work with amazing companies like Superhuman, Mixpanel, ShipBob, Cedar Health and more. Some of the audios shared on Spokn:
- Weekly team recaps
- Department updates
- New hire welcomes
- Big win celebrations
- Stories on company history
- Values spotlights
- Internal company jokes - explained :)
We’d love to get some feedback, hear ideas for use cases, and answer questions, too!
Big thanks,
Mariel + Fawzy

@gustaf this is so amazing! thanks for building this.
Looks great! Are there certain company sizes or teams/departments you've seen this work best with? I've already recommended it to a friend who works in HR, I think they're trialing it, good luck!
Hey PH! Second time is the charm here on our intro :) 🤦♀️
We're so excited to unveil Spokn, an app for creating and sharing internal company podcasts! More details are in Gustaf's post.
TLDR: In the age of Zoom fatigue, Slack chaos and impersonal emails, we help company leaders communicate with their teams in a way that's personal and scalable: audio.
We think life is a lot better when employees can stay in the loop without being stuck to a screen. Weekly team recaps, department updates, new hire welcomes, stories of company history, even a company's inside jokes - there's a lot you can share in audio.
We’d love for you to check out our quick demo film and let us know your feedback, your ideas, and your questions, too!

Great idea. Personally, I hate the sound of my voice so I wouldn't want to use this medium but as an HR manager who's constantly trying to nail down my CEO to provide the team with updates, this could be good for him on those busy days to give something quickly. Good luck! I can see this being really popular with People teams.
Podcasting For Work is a great idea! Can you share and embed playlists and/or podcasts in intranets, enterprise social networks, collaboration platforms, Learning Manangement Systems etc?

Love it!
@mariel_davis to what extent are you different from Storyboard ?
They said they've reached 3.000 clients (sounds huge!), are you experiencing the same success ?
